ACMW:CIS, vol 1, issue 4.

The fourth issue wraps up our first year of newsletters.  Each one has
featured inspirational interviews, exciting announcements, impressive
recognitions, and developments in the ACM-W.

In this issue, ACM-W Chair Elaine Weyuker introduces the new ACM-W
Executive Board. Articles include a spotlight on a new project, a
major award to one of our leaders, and notes on activities from
communities and our ambassadors. Finally, be sure to read about Ada
Lovelace Day, March 24, and what you can do to celebrate.

Also, in a nice little bit of synchronicity, this issue features both
an interview with Gloria Townsend and a review of the third Ohio
Celebration of Women in Computing (OCWIC).  It’s a neat link because
Gloria was the person who originated the idea of the Regional
Celebrations of Women in Computing (or "mini-Hoppers, as they're
sometimes called) in Indiana back in 2003.   And Ohio was the first
state (after Indiana) to replicate the idea in 2005.  Since then,
there's been a virtual explosion of such events.
